Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner was sidelined with a hamstring injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Gardner was unable to return for the final defensive drive, as Seattle drove for the go-ahead touchdown in a 26-21 Jets loss.
After the game, Gardner said the team's medical staff is still determining the extent of the issue, and while he believes he will undergo an MRI on Monday, the corner does not believe the injury to be serious.
"I feel straight. We don’t see exactly what it is going on. I don’t think it’s too, too crazy," Gardner said. "Me, I never had hamstring issues or nothing lie that, so I don’t know what it is, but I’m (gonna be) good. I’m always good."
Gardner confirmed he would likely undergo an MRI on Monday, saying "I don’t think it’s going to be bad at all."
For the Jets, Gardner's injury came at an inopportune time, as he, DJ Reed, Michael Carter, and Brandin Echols were all banged up and off the field.
Morgan Moses exits with shoulder injury
With Tyron Smith on injured reserve and Max Mitchell inactive, the Jets came into Sunday’s matchup with the Seattle Seahawks thin at the tackle position.
So it certainly didn’t help matters that veteran right tackle Morgan Moses was not on the field for the Jets’ second drive of the afternoon.
Gang Green would score a touchdown to take an early 14-0 lead, and soon after the team announced that Moses was questionable to return with a shoulder injury.
Initially, the veteran was back on the field the next time the Jets' offense took the field early in the second quarter, but after one drive back with the offense, Moses was then ruled doubtful to return.
Second-year pro Carter Warren stepped into the lineup for Moses at right tackle, opposite of rookie Olu Fashanu on the left side.
